OF the terrible disorganizatiOn OF the
democratic party, and calling upon the
leaders like Carlisle to suggest some
methods OF harmonization. Tine Boston
Herald grows pathetic over the sitha-
ton, aud asks the great KentucSian to
suggest some means to make the wishes
OF the party felt so that they will mot
be compelled to take up md adopt the
measures proposed by its political an
tagonists." Here's richness! But the
Herald forgots that the Cleveland party
has been living for two years on what

supply is about exhausted, and won't

A NAMELESS CASE,

My case has been very curious one for
about 10 years. At Intervals of about q week |
would be attacked with s5ells of severe and
most excruclating pain, always commencing
in the region OF my kidneys. The pain would
then go upwards and affect my body and head,
and seemed to penetrate my very eye-balls,
creating the most intense suffering, lasting
about eight hours each spell.
! resorted 10 all kinds OF medicine without
benefit. Several doctors treated my case, but
none gave relief. | finally used u. Is. Is. as an
experiment and To my utter establishment all
pain and suffering vanished after using three
doses To the present time have used three
bottles, and not II paiu has ever returned. I
DO not know what was the matter, neither
could my physician name the complaint. The
Il. Is. Il. acted finely and powerfully upon my
kidneys; my appetite has been splendid and
my constitution built up rapidly.

SYNDICATE FARwELL, of Illinois, the re-
Gently elected Illinois senator, boasts
that he will make S25 900. 600 out of the
capitol contract in Texas. 1t is great
comment on the democracy of this glori-

resort to black republican syndicate to
secure the erection OF their state house,

penditure has been known in the history
